ALLEGAN, MICHIGAN, A COREORATION OF MICHIGAN CALENDAR This invention relates to improved. advertising calendars in which the monthly leaves can be thrown to the back and be preserved without marring the appearance of the calendar. This calendar is of the class illustrated and exemplified in Patent No. 729,427, issued May 26, 1903, to G. H. T. Scribner.

The objects of this invention are: I

First, to provide such a calendarwith improved folding sheets which preserve their form and appearance.

Second, to provide an improved permanent display card.

Third, to provide effective transparent protection for such a card Fourth, to provide improved effective bind ingmeans which support the monthly sheets entirely across their upper ends.

Objects pertaining to further details will appear from the description to follow. A

preferred embodiment of my invention is,

illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which: I

Fig. 1 is a front elevation view of my. improved calendar as it hangs on the wall.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail Vertical sectional view on line 22 of Fig. 1, showing the disposition and arrangement of the various parts before the first leaf of the calen'dar is turned.

Fig. 3 is a sectional View similar to Fig. 2 in which all the leaves of the calendar are turned except the last one.

Fig. 4 is a detail diagrammatic perspective View of the difierent leaves entering into the structure of my improved calendar disposed in spaced relation to each other.

The parts will be identified .by their numerals of reference.

-1 is the calendar back sheet which is com paratively heavy but is still flexible. 2 is the business display card sheet which may be of specially fine material and, because of its small size, it can economically be made very attractive of expensive and high grade material. 3 is a sheet of cellophane or other transparent material, such as thin celluloid or the like, disposed to protect the display card. 4 are the calendar sheets through which are cut rectangular windows 41 with curved-tops 42, as seen in detail in Figs. 1

andl. I have illustrated six of these calendar sheets but in practice one for each month of the' year will usually appear, although the calendar obviously can be made for shorter periods.

Up at each side of thewindows at the top are plain spaces on each sheet for general inemoranda and the spaces by each number are usually of suchsize that memoranda can be placed upon them, thus making the cal endarnotonly a highly ornamental calendar,

but at the same time-a highly useful memorandurn'calendar. The meinoranda are very readily preserved because the sheets can be turnedqover to the The upper ends of the sheets 1, 2,3 and 4 are folded upon each: other and retained in place by a usual calendar binder tin 5. This is also provided with the'usual suspending hook 6 provided with eye 61"at the top; The dimensionof this partis such that the windows 41in the sheets 4 readily fold over the same so that thesheets can be dropped down behind, as

indicated in- Fig. 3, 'theiparts being shown a little separated for clearness of illustration, but in practice will be in contact-with each other. e

It will be seen that when the calendar leaves 4: are folded over they will conform very readily over the binder tin and be in perfect alignment and smooth and notchange.

the appearance. Because the sheets41 extend entirely across the top, the binder will hold them evenly in place, and because of the curve at the upper edge of the window there will be no tendency of the window portions of the leaves to separate but they will readily conform into a compact neat roll at the top.

While I have shown a special art sheet 2, I desire to call attention to the fact that the advertisement or business card could be placed directly on the sheet 1' oppositethe window; The printing might be of such character that it could be readily wiped and kept clean, but I prefer to use the transparent sheet which is clearly of advantage in that behalf.

I desire to claim the'invention in the spetop, in their upper portions and at a distance from the top, a binder tin embracing the folded-over edges of said sheets continuously across the top thereof, and a central hook having suspending .ring of such dimension that the windows pass over the same in folding the sheets to the back;

2. In a calendar, the combination of a back sheet, a protecting transparent sheet, calendar sheets each having window openings, upwardly curved at the top, in their upper portions and at a distance from the top, a binder tin embracing the folded-over edges of said sheets continuously across the tops thereof, anda central hook having suspending ring of such dimensionthat the windows pass over the same in folding the sheets to the back.

3. In a calendar, the combination of a back sheet, calendar sheets each having window openings, upwardly curved at the top, in

their upper portions and at a distance from the top, a binder tin embracing the foldedover edges of the said sheetscontinuously across the tops thereof, and a central hook having suspending ring of'such dimension that the windows pass over the same in folding the sheets to the back.

4. In aealendar, the combination of a back sheet, calendar sheets each having window openings in their upper portions and at a distance from the top, a bindertin embracing the folded-over edges of said sheets continuously across the tops thereof, and a central hookihaving suspending ring of such dimen- 'sion that the windows pass over the same in folding the sheets 'to the back.
